Outlook for Mac 2011 – How to sync with iCal (Google Calendar)

google-calendaricalms office

This seems to be a common problem, but I couldn't find any solutions.

I want to sync my Google Calendar with Outlook 2011

I tried this solution:

  1. Sync Google Calendar with iCal
  2. Then sync iCal with Outlook

I want to get my Google events into Outlook.

But I have a Problem:

  1. Works fine. All my Google events are in iCal
  2. Outlook won't show my iCal events. I did it with this solution

What can I do as syncing directly from Outlook to Google isn't possible.

Further Information:

  • Add an event in iCal -> shows up in Outlook
  • Add an event in Outlook -> doesn't show up in iCal
